i dont think it's scientific at all, does my dental filling make me a cyborg and where is that line crossed. And then u have what is 'mind control', what is 'mind' That many paper titles use it does not mean it's a common scientific term. This is context-dependent, could be ok in an opinion or philosophy paper, but in an experimenal paper about locomotion control via brain-machine interfaces it s just unacceptable imo

>and where is that line crossed Plenty of categories have fuzzy lines. When exactly does a color stop being orange and become red?

So if it's context dependent and many papers located in science use it. Then it seems pretty reasonable to call it a scientific term. If it wouldn't be context dependent I wonder how science got to use the words like "transformer", "quark", "entropy" and so on..

What is a cyborg is pretty fuzzy, but I think that a brain implant that controls your actions pretty much qualifies Also > 'mind control', what is 'mind' Are you serious? Scientific papers can't talk about "mind" now?
